jbo225 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Ok so im starting to get into fishing soft swimbaits going to ease up to Bass Pro Monday so im thinking about going with Yum money minnow so should i go with the 3.5" or the 5" Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 1, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2015 Unless you're wanting to fish a very finesse A-rig or a very light single jighead, I'd go with the 5". 4 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 1, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2015 Ditto I tried to use the small ones a while back but went right back to the larger size. They have thier place tho. Mike 1 Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I started off with the 3.5 inch and regretted it. One lb drinks will slam the 5" so don't worry about limiting your catch, even though you targeting bigger fish most likely. Quote
atcoha Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I have fished both...had more luck with the smaller ones where I fish...ymmv. Great baits, but expensive...Been using some less expensive baits and had same results....good. 1 Quote
A KGB Operative Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The caffine swim'n shad goes into this category right? Because I have had great success with those as well. 2 Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted March 1, 2015 Super User Posted March 1, 2015 I'd go with the 5". They are still small enough that they aren't going to chase away very many small bass, and they still give you a better chance at catching a bigger one. This bass was only about 12" but he had no problem choking a 5 1/2" 1 Quote
jbo225 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks is there any other anyone suggests that's bp sells Quote
livetofish28 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Just a tip with the money minnow peel the clear coat layer off of the bait and it will have an even more lively action tight lines Andrew 2 Quote
jbo225 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Went with the 4.5" shadilicious and picked up some havoc grass pigs....also got some weighted hooks and jig heads try both out Quote
johnfl Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Try out gambler big eazy and the eazy swimmer really awesome baits. Durable for multiple fish. Caught a 30 lb bag down here on Florida on them copper field is my favorite. They work great up north smallies love em to. Weighted swim bait hook or a swim jig with 4/0 and or 5/0 hook Quote
